Other News: New story is ready! You can read it now :D. Check my profile! (story may be alittle dark, but who cares?)
Simple POV
"Chip in good condition. No damage, but the Master Shredder, I need to talk to you." Stockman said.
Oroku Saki looked at Leonardo. Leonardo nodded. He got up and walked away from them. Shredder turned to Stockman.
"I looked at the state of health. I learned that the chip has side effects."
"What are the side effects?"
"The chip can cause headaches. Pain may be worse if he will be reminded of his past. Sometimes it can get to insomnia."
"Is there any way to prevent these consequences?" Saki asked with a threatening tone.
"It will take more time. But I can tell you that after about two days, the medication will be ready."
"You'd better do it quickly, Stockman." Shredder left.
Stockman then immediately began to make the medicine.
Shredder approached Leonardo.
"Everything will be all right with you chip, but you better be careful with it."
"Yes, father. What Stockman said when i left.''
"It belonged to a completely different case." Shredder said firmly.
''And...father?''
Shredder turned to him.
''You didn't answered my last question... why do I look like a giant turtle?''
But Shredder prepared for such a question. When Leonardo was on his mission and fought with his brothers, Shredder tought about his answers and actions.
''I already knew that you will ask me about it and I understand it.''
Leonardo looked at him with a little surprised face.
''When you were little you were human. But then you were kidnapped. By these enemies, that you saw on the roof.''
''So that mean...''
''Yes, they did it to you.''
Leonardo's eyes winded. He looked down. And then something knocked in his head.
''Wait, I must have my mother... so, where is she?''
Shredder purposely looked down.
''She died. Our enemies killed her, when she tried to protect you and Karai.''
Leonardo didn't know what it's all lies. If he knew it wasn't true, he would have never been so depressed. For him the world collapsed into small pieces.
''I-is that so? I n-never thought, that it could happened.''
His hands were shaking. He felt guilty. He thought, that it was his fault. He couldn't protect himself or her sister. He wanted to forget it, but he couldn't. It was to much.
''It's night. I think I'll go get some sleep. G-goodnight.'' Leonardo left.
With Leonardo
The room was dark. Leonardo was sitting on the floor beside the bed. He couldn't sleep. This was a side effect. Although the head stopped hurting. He looked nowhere. All he heard the voice of his 'father', who said that his 'mother' died. His expression couldn't be explained. Anger, sadness and guilt surrounding him. But the worst thing is that he let the killers escape. His eyes lost their color. He pulled out his sword and began to stab the floor. Is he insane?
''They killed her, they killed her, they killed her...''
He continued to stab the floor, until he heard a rather familiar voice.
Wow, you are really insane.
Leonardo drew his sword from the floor and looked up at the ceiling.
"Heh...yes, exactly. I even hear strange voices in his head. Anyone would think that I'm insane. Talking with myself."
I want to tell you, you are not talking to yourself.
Leonardo laughed
''Yeah, right.''
No one can hear our conversation. Just you and me.
"It's very convenient."
You don't want to know who I am?
Leonardo looked down with an indifferent gaze.
"No, not interested. Now I'm thinking about something else."
Do you think about that lie, didn't you?
''Lies?''
He blatantly lied to you. And those enemies is your real family. I even reminded you. Do not you remember? That quarrel with the turtle in a red mask. With Raphael.
"When I think about it, my head hurts like hell."
This is a side effect.
"What?"
didn't the Shredder tell you?
Leonardo didn't answered.
And that's not all the effects.
"I don't even know whether to believe it or not."
It's fine. You very confused. It's OK if you do not want to believe it. But you better be careful. Don't do anything stupid.
"...I'll try. But you know, sometimes I feel strange."
For example?
"I want to kill someone ..."
Oh, well, that explains what you did recently.
Leonardo looked at the floor.
Perhaps this is another side effect of the chip.
Leonardo suddenly felt pain. Again headache. The pain was not severe, but he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hmmmm ..."
Headache?
"Yes, it's annoying me."
You know, I can help you with a headache.
"Really... and how?"
Look.
And suddenly, somehow headache was gone. Leonardo felt much better. He was very surprised. Everyone would be suprised.
"How did you do that?"
I just took the pain on myself.
''What?''
It's very easy. I'm part of you.
"Wha... now I'm really confused. Who are you?"
Let's just say I'm your ally.
Leonardo calmed down a bit. He looked around. Now he could relax. And even if he has an ally, he still doesn't know anything about the truth. He slowly closed his eyes. He thought what would be tomorrow.
In the morning
Leonardo woke up early. Most likely, the headache is back again. He tried not to think about it. He decided to skip breakfast and immediately go to the training room. As he walked down the hall, he saw foot soldiers who bowed to him. He walked into the training room. There was nobody there. He took out his sword and began to train. The headache began to slowly disappear. When the headache was gone, he stopped. He started to remember the past about his real family. He immediately knew who it could be.
''Did you do this?''
...err, no. It's meaningless. You won't believe anyways.
"Then why do I suddenly thought about that?"
Maybe because you want to remember everything? If you really want to know the trust, then take the chip off.
Of course he wanted to know the truth. He tired of this headache. He can not concentrate or relax. He decided to listen to his voice. He is his ally. And he proved it yesterday. He helped him get rid of the pain. He was about to take the chip off, but he was stopped by a hand.
''Leonardo, what are you doing?!''
Leonardo turned back.
''Karai?''
''I've been looking for you everywhere. Why did you want to take the chip off?''
Leonardo looked the other way.
''I-I'm sorry.''
Don't say sorry to her. Just ask her.
''Why did you do that?''
''...Karai, are you hiding something from me?''
Karai was surprised and moved away from Leonardo a few steps.
''W-why did you ask me that? I don't hide anything from you.'' Karai said with a nervous voice.
Leonardo shook his head and looked at Karai.
''I'm sorry, I guess, I realy let myself down.''
Karai took him by the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'm not mad at you. It's just, a question was unexpected."
''Yeah...''
''Maybe, we can eat something.'' Karai smiled.
''I think so...''
And then they left training room.
In the hall
When Leonardo and Karai walked down the hall, Leonardo heard the voice again.
Do you see? She was nervous.
''Maybe because the question was unexpected?''
Do you hear yourself? I'm telling you, she's lying to you.
''We'll see.''
Damn, you're very stubborn.
When they were near the kitchen, they saw Shredder, who went to meet them. Karai and Leonardo bowed.
''Good morning father.''
''Good morning. Karai, everything is ready for you mission.'' Shredder said to Karai.
Leonardo looked at Karai.
''You have a mission?''
''Yes, for a few days.'' Karai smiled.
''Okay then, be careful. I'll be lonely.'' Leonardo laughed.
''I will.''
And then Karai left.
Shredder looked at Leonardo.
''And Leonardo, you will have you mission too.''
''Really? When?''
''After a few days. So you better get ready.''
''Yes, father.'' and with these words Leonardo bowed and went to kitchen.
Yay, Leo have a ally!
What will happend next?
You will find out soon!
